ManwithSupra

Well done mate, well deserved... Did you sort the hot spots?

Thanks

The one mounted in SteveL's Time attack car was mounted underneath just by the engine mount. Looks to be a smaller unit though.

Gigady goo.. http://gifs.gifbin.com/1236166298_quagmire_-_giggity.gif lol

2ft long !! Whaaat... that is big... Yeah no worries a Picture tomorrow would be fine mate, thanks.

Ah that could be difficult... Any chance of a Pic so I have an idea of what I am dealing with...

17's only I am afraid dude.

True, but believe it or not I actually don’t have a huge amount of room in the engine bay, Its all taken up with the V-Mounted Intercooler and Radiator I suppose I could mount it near the steering rack if there is enough room there hmmmm.

Cheers will have a chat with them, hmmm I wonder if SteveL still has his? The Only issue is that they are quite big bits of kit.

I have the same thing and it is the Oil pressure sensor set too sensitive, would be an idea just to check your oil level anyway in case it’s a little low. Actually that reminds me I need to get my ar*e in gear and give you a call Ryan to go through changing the settings on that I am also thinking about getting an Accusump to prevent starvation..

Cheers mate, some more exciting updates will be coming over the next few months, the clue is the big roll of Carbon Fibre material next to the wheel (the role is 2m wide and 20m long) Project Carbonise ...

Steering wheel now completed...

Sounds like you are getting the bug...

I also think a large part of the issue is the Age but not because of its Actual age but peoples perspective. "But it’s a L reg" - At the end of the day its Reg plate snobbery... Age does not matter if you are an enthusiast of cars. If you look at the car as it is... as a car, then what you get even for a stock TT is a bargain.

I would say the major reasons are down to the fact the car is old, the fuel costs are high and no one has any money. You also have to think because of the reasons above the Supra would no longer fit the daily driver category now (it barely did anyway) but really only a weekend car. Not a lot of people have money to spend on a car they are only going to use at the weekend, not these days. It also does not help that Toyota ended stopped production of the Supra with no announcement of a successor which killed the name dead. Manufactures like Nissan still kept the "Skyline" brand alive to remind the public of the iconic cars. After the R34 production ended, Nissan still had a huge presence by using the R34 in racing, then not many years later they brought out the Nissan Skyline (which was a bigger version of the 350z) which while it was hideous still kept the “skyline” brand alive, which set it up the huge GTR (R35) release. Could it be that people have just simply forgotten about the Supra because there has been no effort expended on Toyota’s part to keep the name alive? I went to a number of Pistonheads meets in my old Supra and found that quite a few people were asking what it was and when reminded they always said “oh yeah I remember, good cars those”. I think it’s a culmination of Age, Fuel costs, No money and an abandoned brand, so it’s just simply dropped off people’s radar, It’s been a long time since Toyota have done a descent sports car, so Toyota is not a brand people think of. Maybe the GT86 will start to bring people back to the Supra… who knows, only time will tell.

Me too..

If you go turbo (either NA-T or a TT replant) dont go for a piggyback. Spend a bit more and get a full standalone ECU, you will get more out of your setup this way. As regards mapping Ryan.G on here is your man.

That Sir ... is Stunning !!

Agreed, the amount of heat that comes out of my vents is pretty surprising. When stationary you get wobble vision

Dont do it, for three reasons.. 1. As already explained they dont really work. 2. They detract from the look of the car as it looks like it has a frontal impact. 3. Your bonnet will be raised away from the crash bonnet hooks so in the event of a front end smash (god forbid) your bonnet will turn into a guillotine. If you are still having heat issues then I would use a proper solution such as reflect a gold on the hot spots...

I am sure I have seen a Japanese video on youtube of a guy drifiting his Auto Supra and pretty well I may add. I would say It would be alot harder over a manual but not impossible to do. I will see if i can find the vid..

Looks good, some pics outdoors would show it off better White Supra = Win

Well done mate - well deserved.
